Notification Sound

You can set the sound to be played when notification arrive by setting sound key on th payload. A sound file with the value set should be in your should be on Library/Sounds.

Valid extensions are: aiff, wav, or caf file

{
  "aps" : {
       "alert" :  {
           "title" : "hello",
           "body" : "world"
       },
       "sound" : "test.aiff"
   }
}

Notification on Foreground

You can set UNNotificationPresentationOptions to get an alert, badge, sound when notification is received in foreground by setting static property PushNotificationManager.CurrentNotificationPresentationOption. By default is set to UNNotificationPresentationOptions.None.

     public enum UNNotificationPresentationOptions
	 {
	 	 Alert,	//Display the notification as an alert, using the notification text.
		 Badge,	//Display the notification badge value in the application's badge.
		 None,	//No options are set.
		 Sound  //Play the notification sound.
	 }

Usage sample on iOS Project:

   //To set for alert
   PushNotificationManager.CurrentNotificationPresentationOption = UNNotificationPresentationOptions.Alert;

   //You can also combine them
   PushNotificationManager.CurrentNotificationPresentationOption = UNNotificationPresentationOptions.Alert | UNNotificationPresentationOptions.Badge;

A good place to do this would be on the OnReceived method of a custom push notification handler if it changes depending on the notification, if not you can just set it once on the AppDelegate FinishLaunching.
